Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel compounds and methods for the manufacture of inhibitors of deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) and/ or desumoylating enzymes.
  • the invention relates to the inhibition of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 7 or ubiquitin specific peptidase 7 (USP7).
  • the invention further relates to the use of DUB or desumoylating inhibitors in the treatment of cancer.
  • Ubiquitin is a small protein consisting of 76 amino acids that is important for the regulation of protein function in the cell.
  • ubiquitin there are a growing number of structurally related ubiquitin-like molecules (UBLs) that modify substrates in parallel but distinct cellular pathways.
  • proteins include but are not restricted to small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO), interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), ubiquitin-related modifier-1 (URM1), neuronal-precursor-cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein-8 (NEDD8), human leukocyte antigen F-associated (FAT10), autophagy-8 (ATG8) and -12 (ATG12), few ubiquitin-like protein (FUB1), membrane-anchored UBL (MUB), ubiquitin fold-modifier-1 (UFM1) and ubiquitin-like protein-5 (UBL5).
  • SUMO small ubiquitin-like modifier
  • ISG15 interferon-stimulated gene 15
  • UDM1 ubiquitin-related modifier-1
  • NEDD8 neuronal-precursor-cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein-8
  • FATG8 human leukocyte antigen F-associated
  • AGT8 autophagy-8
  • AGT8 autophagy-8
  • UG12 ubiquitin
  • Ubiquitylation and deubiquitylation of ubiquitin and UBLs are enzymatically mediated processes by which ubiquitin or UBLs are covalently bound or cleaved from a target protein by ubiquitylating enzymes and deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs).
  • DUBs ubiquitylating enzymes and deubiquitylating enzymes
  • SENPs Sentrin specific proteases
  • the ubiquitylation and deubiquitylation processes have been implicated in the regulation of many cellular functions including cell cycle progression, apoptosis, modification of cell surface receptors, regulation of DNA transcription and DNA repair.
  • the ubiquitin system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous disease states including inflammation, viral infection, metabolic dysfunction, CNS disorders, and oncogenesis.
  • USP7 is a DUB with strong oncology links and is an established anti-cancer target.
  • USP7 The rationale behind targeting USP7 is principally due to its well validated role in regulating multiple oncogenes, tumour suppressors, viral proteins and epigenetic regulators including Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), Forkhead box protein O4 (FOXO4), the p53:HDM2 axis and DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1).
  • PTEN Phosphatase and tensin homolog
  • FOXO4 Forkhead box protein O4
  • DNMT1 DNA
  • Inhibition of USP7 causes degradation of Human double minute 2 homolog (HDM2), stabilisation of p53 and activation of apoptosis in tumour cells meaning it is a potential target for cancers where there is deregulated HDM2 expression ( ⁇ 7% of all cancers) and/or wild-type p53 ( ⁇ 50% of all cancers).
  • USP7 inhibition has also been shown to reduce the immune-suppressive capacity of regulatory T
  • the ubiquitin-proteasome system has gained interest as a target for the treatment of cancer following the approval of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Extended treatment with bortezomib is limited by its associated toxicity and drug resistance. However, therapeutic strategies that target specific aspects of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway upstream of the proteaseome, such as DUBs, are predicted to be better tolerated. Although there is strong interest in this field, DUB inhibitors have yet to enter the market ( Kemp M, Progress in Medicinal Chemistry 2016; 55:140-192 ). Thus, there is a need for compounds and pharmaceutical compositions to inhibit DUBs such as USP7 for the treatment of indications where DUB activity is observed, including, although not limited to, cancer.
